UK regulator Ofgem has appointed Charlotte Ramsay and Richard Smith as energy systems management and security director in a job-share partnership.
Ramsay most recently worked for National Grid, where she led the creation of a separate electricity system operator and secured investment decisions on National Grid’s portfolio of electricity interconnectors.
She spent several years at Ofgem, developing the “Cap and Floor” regime for interconnector investment and leading work on integrated transmission planning and regulation.
Ramsay begins the role at the end of March.
Smith also joins Ofgem from National Grid, where he most recently led the networks, market change, and commercial teams and sat on the executive team of the energy system operator.
His business portfolio also includes leading the creation of the first UK-wide Future Energy Scenarios energy system.
Smith will start in the role from early February.
